Grading Policy: Homework 20%, Each Midterm 20%, Final Exam 40%
HW Policy: Homework will be assigned on the web.
Homework should be scanned (or typed) and emailed directly to the grader: Chunting Lu, ctlu@math.umd.edu
Late homework will not be graded.
Computer programs (such as Matlab, Maple, Mathematica, Wolfram Alpha, etc.) should not be used for homework unless otherwise stated on the assignment.
Makeup Policy: There will be no makeup exams. In case of a medical or family emergency, please contact me by email before the exam. In cases of a justified and documented absence (for a medical or family emergency - and I was contacted before the exam) the weight of the missed exam will be shifted to the final exam.
Class Attendance: You are expected to attend class. The material will not always overlap the textbook. If you miss class, it is your responsibility to catch up.
Exams: There will be two midterm exams and one final exam. The dates of the exams are:
- Midterm 1: Tuesday, March 10 (in class, instead of lecture)
- Midterm 2: Tuesday, April 14 (in class, instead of lecture)
- Final Exam: Monday, May 18, 10:30am-12:30pm (in class)
If you have any conflicts with the assigned dates of the Midterm Exams, please contact me by email up to one week before the exam.
Academic Integrity: All work that you submit must be your own. You are welcomed to discuss the material with each other in a general way, but you may not consult any one else's written work, drafts, etc. Any marked similarity in form or notation between submissions with different authors will be regarded as evidence of academic dishonesty so protect your work. You must cite any reference you use and clearly mark any quotation or close paraphrase that you include. Such citation will not lower your grade, although extensive quotation might. Homework should be done individually.
Students with Disabilities: Students who require special examination conditions must register with the office of the Disabled Students Services (DSS). Documentation must be provided. Paper forms must be filled out and provided before every exam.
Additional Resources: There are many resources on transform methods and harmonic analysis. A selected list of recommended resources includes
- Elliott Lieb and Michael Loss, “Analysis”
- Benedetto, “Harmonic Analysis and Applications”
